Since this nvidia-driver conflicts with some files of xorg, it's a bitcomplex to install/uninstall the driver. However, installation of thenvidia-driver package itself backs up the conflicting files and puts thenvidia-specific files into place.

Included is a script called nvidia-switch, which is used to switch from the xorg driver to the nvidia driver, but it will not edit xorg.conf for you;you have to do that manually. The nvidia-switch script is installed to /usr/sbin. NOTE: Although nvidia-switch is aware of a COMPAT32 environment,its use therein is not supported.

Before uninstalling or upgrading this package, it is important that you execute'nvidia-switch --remove', which will switch back to the stock xorg filesand remove all links created by nvidia-switch during installation. If you forget to do this, you'll have to do the switch manually, or xorg won't work on next startup.Here are the affected files: /usr/lib[64]/libGL.so.1.2 /usr/lib[64]/xorg/modules/extensions/{libglx.so libglx.la}Simply remove the dead nvidia symlinks and rename the saved '-xorg' appended files.
